DIY pizza kit, the sequel. The light was terrible the day I shot this, so turned it into a quickie recipe.

I also needed a new sauce recipe. The old one is great, but well, it’s old. I figured I’d be better off just making a new recipe all together. You gotta have some variation now and then. Reinvent yourself, like Madonna! Only without the Kabbalah and pointy bra.

This sauce is slightly thicker, fragrant and slightly acidic with a hint of sweetness. It really sticks to the dough, which is exactly what you need to prevent your toppings from turning into pizza soup. That ain’t pretty. I incorporated some butter and that works magic on the flavor and crust! A good sauce really forms the foundation of every good pizza.

Finely mince the onion and grate the garlic. Peel and chop the tomatoes. Sautee the onions in a tbsp oil, add the garlic and tomatoes paste and cook for another minute. Add the chopped tomatoes, seasonings, salt, sugar and pepper and simmer the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes. ube the butter, stir it into the sauce and as soon as it has melted the sauce is done. use the sauce as is or smoothen it with a blender or immersion blender.

anyone looking for a microplane can usually find one in the autobody repair area in a store. The similar item is used for smoothing off body filler when repairing automobile dents. Might be cheaper than a kitchen shop.
